The
installation consists of two parts; an interface and an application interpreting
the incoming data from the movement of the hammock and animating the text
material. The interface consists of a hammock, whose movements is traced
by a custom-made hardware interface - no bitmap-tracking, just plain and
obvious mechanics: A computer mouse is deconstructed and again new constructed,
instead of a ball, there is a twine going through… An application
then translates in real time the hammock's movement into animated type.
The interface reads the amplitude and frequency of your movement in the
hammock. With that interface the user is also able to follow the mechanic
of the movement. The hardware components are simple, plain mechanics.
The visibility of this simplicity is part of the aesthetics of the installation.

Software
director-lingo-programming, text (interviews and own written states),
pixel-exact font

The
hardware components/materials are chosen purposefully pure, the installation
shall quickly be assembled; in this way the mobility-thought in the work
is been supported. Installation space: minimum 5 m high by 10 m long and
6 m wide. Light condition: Projected letters on a screen shall be readable.
